This is the busiest day of the Festival schedule, with 10 events plus Franke’s Flip Flops and right now six of them are in play simultaneously. With so many events, the fields in each a little smaller than usual, as players spread themselves out, choosing the events that suit them best.
There’s no guarantees on any of these events, so players can choose the events they genuinely want to play, rather than being influenced by which one will have the biggest overlay potential. From a recreational player perspective, if it keeps some overlay hunting sharks away, it’s a good thing.
Main Event Day 1a Update
The Main Event is now in level 7 with 25 players in their seats, with 33 having entered so far. Eight players have been eliminated so far and remarkably Neil Rawnsley has taken six of these scalps, Unluckily for Neil, this isn’t a bounty tournament, as he would already be free-rolling if it were. Unsurprisingly, he’s one of the early chip leaders.
Mixed Games Main Event (H.O.R.S.E.S)
The Mixed Games Main Event is now on the bubble, with ten players left and only nine getting paid. The winner will cash for €9,100 while the min cash is worth €1,025. Norwegian Eirik Presttun started the day as the overwhelming chip leader and has now extended it even further and is currently in possession of 40% of the chips in play. Lachezar Tsenov, who was second in chips is still in also, however Siarhei 'The Machine' Narohzny has been eliminated.
Roulette Tournament
The roulette tournament is now taking place on the stage of the upstairs tournament area. The 31 players who entered seem to be enjoying themselves, based on the amount of laughter emanating from that part of the room.
